Shading...
Using PVA glue or the DUO eyelash glue you can create a realistic bruise or faint graze or even just an aged look.
- We first prep the skin as usual to help apply the most effective look.
- The PVA or DUO glue can be used on top or underneath the foundation. It sometimes looks more realistic if added before the base application.
- The glue is then applied either underneath or on top of the foundation.
- Once the glue has dried you can then pinch or gently scratch it to create what looks like burns or grazes. (This look is easier to achieve if you used a small pointy brush like the angled brush.)
- Then the supra colours are applied top or alongside the effect to build a realistic colouring.
Test the PVA and DUO glue on models skin before proper application to ensure they don't have any negative reactions to the products.

This effect in particular was very interesting to create as it was quite quick and easy to apply a good effect to include in my timed assessment when re-creating my interpretation of Miss Havishams look. I attempted this technique underneath my models eye as I thought that would be most effective. Miss Havisham's skin is never see's sunlight therefore it is very pale and malnourished like the rest of her body. This particular effect on the eye defiantly portrays this and also implies that she takes no care of her personal appearance.
Model: Nicole Eyres
Nicole has quite a dark skin tone with dry skin. She's 18 years of age and shows no contradictions.
This was Nicole's attempt. Her technique was definitely much more effective than mine as she added much heavier colours and more of the product. She also began by applying the Supra colours first then applying the glues and then the lighter colours on top, making the graze/bruise look much more like a wound.
